While the teams did not win, they finished above multiple teams from around the region. The Bug Zappers (Fleming, Messer, and Malachow) finish the highest with the most problems solved in the least attempts out of the IUP teams, followed by the Acorn Stash (Grieggs, McBurney, and Hanley), who solved the same problems in a few more attempts, and lastly the Algorythms (Grim, Medvec, and Charles), who worked diligently on a problem no one else could solve, only to be foiled by the requirement for the program to run in under three seconds. Overall, the IUP Programming Team was excited about how the competition turned out and is looking forward to the PACISE programming competition in the spring.
